mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmPart of Wx4's The Past Less Traveled Series

Railway Shop Up To Date - Wx4's Quick Index to Drawings

In 1907 Railway Master Mechanic magazine compiled their various articles about railroad shops into one lengthy book, which included diagrams that can be quite handy for historians and modelers. Its chapters are arranged by subject, thus individual railroad's diagrams are scattered. The chart presented here sorts out these diagrams by railroad and location.

Copies of the book are available from several locations, including Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg eBooks. The former is preferrable, because it allows downloads in a variety of formats, and importantly, its PDF is not locked, meaning that individual pages can be extracted and transferred to other PDF's with Adobe Acrobat or other software (Adobe Reader has no such feature.). We originally ran across the book on Gutenberg, which breaks the book down into eight PDF's (whose pages are locked, unfortunately). The chart was composed using these, which accounts for the volume numbers.


Number to the left of the dash is a Project Gutenberg volume number only, Actual book page numbers are to the right.

Either version of the book contains an index in back that gives source information for the original articles. Most articles can be found within semi-annual compendium volumes available on Google Books, but due to cataloging inadequacies, old RMM volumes can be hard to dig out. Most ARE there and can be located with creative patience.
